Mining Notes.

Ben Kingsburg of Butte says Of the
"Curdalen" country that the gold belt. So
called, is not making good appearance,
but the silver section, of which Wardner
is the center, is looming up wonderfully.
The Butte Inter Hountain says: 'sIf
the Alice closes it will be solely on ac
count of the existing high rate on salt. If
a 81. rate is made the Alice can continue.
and the subject of wages will not be
touched. The Union Pacific can easily
prove this by making the reduction on
salt as demanded The railroad company
has the matter in its own hands,"
In Idaho, Major Frank P Cavanaugh
has obtained five-years' lease Of the
"Menarch" mine and plant at Atlanta on
favorable terms, with an option of par-
chase at price fixed, and he and his as
sociates are about to commence under
ground work on the mine and will prose
cute the same during the winter. In the
sprihg they will put up concentration
works and work the ore up to a higher
average before milling it.
r. E. Collins is very much pleased
with his Middle fork property. He says
the ore body is the largest he ever saw, is

fractory. and averages, according to =

Did MeAuliffe Back Down?

A New York special to the World says:
Probably never before in the history Of
the prize ring in America did an event
occasion SO much comment as McAuliffe' 8
trick TO avoid meeting Jem Carney, as an
nounced yesterday. Never before in the
annals of fistic matters, has an American
pugilist proved SO arrant a coward as to
run away from his training grounds, leav-
ing his hackers in the lurch and stranding
his honest adversary. As was told yester-
day the final deposit of $1,000a sie> was
to be made to-day, and notice that only an
accident pure aud simple would prevent
the hackers of McAuliffe paying the for
felt to Carney was received in the same
manner that would be accorded a thunder
clap from cIeudless sky. To say that
sporting men were surprised, expresses
the feeling but feebly. They were dumb
founded; they were 10th to believe that
the facts as narrated we're true.
The story is denied by the Herald which
says: The announcement that the light
weight battle between Carney and Me-
Auiine TOT Tie championship ana @o,ouu
was "off" and that McAuliffe will forfeit
was the laughing stock of sporting men
yesterday McAuliffe was seen at his
home at williamsburg last night: .I'm
going to fight, sick or no sick, you can bet
your life on that" was McAulitfe's first
exclamation. mo, I'm not going to for

An Exciting Scene.

DETROIT, Michigan, October 3.-The
English Kitchen. cheap lodging house
ON Jefferson avenue, caught fire early this
morning and when the firemen arrived,
the whole interior of the building seemed
10 be in flames. The lodgers were leap
ing from windows and hanging from
stone sills screaming for help. The
building is a four story one and the lodg-
,ers were hanging from the upper windows.
There were ten people thus endangered,
seven of whom were rescued with but
slight injuries. Of the remaining three,
one was burned to death; another died
from suffocation and the third although
alive, cannot recover. The dead are

THE NATIONAL GAME.

ST. PAUL, September 26.-The sporting
season is drawing to "a close with all the
excitement incident thereto. AS may be
seen by the record below the race for the
pennant in the Northwestern league is as
close and exciting as one could wish.
What the final outcome will be, it is, of
course, hard to predict. Oshkosh, Mil
waukee, Des Moines and st. Paul are all
in the race. ST. Paul, however, is the only
one of the quartet that finishes the season
at home, and although it stands few
points below any of the other three in
percentage, its chances for coming out on
top of thaklist are very good. Taken all
in all, the race will undoubtedI simmer
down during the coming week to ST. Paul
and Oshkosh, and the result of the four
games to be played next week between
these two clubs will sf1y the flag

The Butte Shut Down..

The Engineering and Niaing Journal
says: sThe facts indicate that the COM
pany is using its monopoly of transpor-
tation for purposes of extortion. The
Alice company has found the annual tax
of about 100000 for alt used in its ANAL
g.amating mill too great burden to bear,
aud after exhausting all other means of
reducing expenses, has resolved to cease
the useless exhaustion of its mines With
cut benefit to lis stockholders. We do not
see how it can he blamed for this course
The stockholders of Butte silver mines
have, received thus far in dividends
about one-tenth of their gross product.
Lately they have been getting nothing at
all. We do not wonder they feel tired.

speaking of the opposition to Powderly,
Richard Griffith said: There is great

ed reports. Powderly is the ideal of the
knights and is more than any other man
their choice for the position which he
holds The credential committee has
passed upon upwards of 200 delegates.
The committee it is understood has a great
surprise in store for Joseph R. Buchanan,
the kicker" who is one of the champions
of the expelled assembly of 1876 carpet
weavers. It is stated that there are pro-
tests filed from every local assembly in
Colorado, against the credenti lis of Buch
anan. In case this proves to be fact it is
very probable that Buchanan will not be
allowed seat in the convention.

AN Engine Buns Wild.

BUTTE, October Am engine ON the
Montana Union track, this morning, at 8
O'Clock, started down the hill on its own
nook, the brakes not working satisfactori-
". Three men, Meeks, Mclaughlin and
Morse were aboard and when the engine
struck the switch, short distance above
the Clear Grit nine. it was thrown from
the track. Meeks was seriously hurt
about the scalp and Mclaughlin injured
in the left side and wrist. The escape Of
the men is almost miraculous. The en-
gine was badly broken.

THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION.

There was no change in the standing Of
the American association clube during
last week, the one prominent feature of
the play being Cineinnati's unbroken
string of five victories, three of them from
the ST. Louis Browns. Consequently the
Porkopolis club has secured firm hold on
second place, and will probably not be
dislodged, although Louisville and Balti-
more are close behind. 1t is now impos-
sible for any club to win the pennant ex-
cept ST. Louis, and the race long ago lost
all interest except regarding the lower
places in the list.

rapidly nearing the close, but fifty games,
including all that have been postponed, re-
naming to be p4ayed. Detroit fell off a
little during the week. winning only two
game out of five, while Chicago won five
out of seven. The games played in Chi

fused its consent, are included in the re-
cord, Boston winning two and the third
being tie. Philadelphia is the only club
which did not suffer a single defeat dur
ing the week, winning two games from
Detroit and three from Pittsburg. New
York won four and lost two. At this
stage nothing but some unfortunate aeci-
dent can deprive Detroit of the pennant.
The record to date is as follows:

FOUR HUNDRED MEN IDLE.
The Alice Mine and Mill at Butte
Closed-The Union Pacific
Denounced.

BUTTE, October 3.--The many CON-
ments and queries in regard to the in.en-
tions of the Alice company were set at
rest this morning, and it was perceived
that the Alice company has not been run
ming bluff in the matter of cheap salt.
For the past twenty four hours, the shifts
at the Alice and Magma Charta have heen
laid off as their turn expired and this
morning the mill was shut down entirely
and all the men laid off. The pumps
were even taken off i'll the Magma Charta
and the mine is filling up with water.
The pumps in the Alice are still kept
going and the mine aud mill are both oc-
cupied now only by watchmen.
PLAYING NO BLUFF.
superintendent Hall said to-day that
the company was playing no bluff and
would shut down until the rate on salt
was reduced to $3.50 per ton, no matter
when that price might be reached. The
situation. is regarded as seriors by the
laboring men Of the camp, and il certainly
is so. Of tie 400 men who are thrown out
of employment by this one fell swoop
most of them are old employees and there
are but few among the number who have
not worked with the Alice at least three
years of the seven that the mine has been
in operation. Many of the men have
beet with the company for the whole
seven years.
THE MoULToN CLOSED.
The Moulton mill was also shut down
this morning, and all the miners laid off.
This increased the general feeling of
alarm, but it was afterwards discovered
that there we're no reasons for
such. ]. * Clark, the Moulton saperin-
tendent, says he only shut the mill down
for repairs and it will be started
up right away The miners were laid off
rs the ore houses were full and
no more ore could be handled at present
The mine he says will be started up in
day or two later than the mill.
THE MINERS ASSEMBLE.
The mass m citing called by the m m
bers of the Miners Union to night at theil
hall was attended by about $50 people. 4
went over the same ground of the salt
question which has ST. often been read in
the public press. The only new point de-
voloped WAS in the speeches of'R. r. Lalty,
secretary of the miners auiot1, and aIr.
Edy, which showed that the workmen be-
lieved the company side in the cnntro
versy and Dut no faith in the reports cir
culated by the Union Pacific that the
wages question was at the bottom of the
trouble The tone of the meeting was
very moderate but the blame for the shut
down was laid on the railroad company.
A committee of five was finally appointed
to draw up resolutions to be pr sented to
the officials of the Union Pacific. Mana
ger Potter telegraphed yesterday from
Omaha that he would start at once for
Salt Lake and come from there TO Butte.
Heis expected TO arrive here not later than
Tuesday. There is general belief that
the strain will he removed ON his arrival
